🌱 8.1 Motivation for an Agent Marketplace

While StandR Bot caters to users seeking passive income, many traders and developers have unique strategies. An AI‑agent marketplace gives them a venue to share and monetise their expertise, creating a vibrant economy of trading algorithms.

Benefits:

• Diversity of Strategies: algorithmic traders can design arbitrage bots, trend‑followers, market‑neutral strategies, RWA strategies, high‑frequency trading (HFT) bots, mean‑reversion models or options strategies. Diversity reduces systemic risk and provides more choices for users.

• Monetisation: developers earn fees when users subscribe to their agents. Fees may be flat, performance‑based or a mix. A portion of fees flows back to the EOSI treasury, stakers and the community.

• Community‑driven vetting: agents are ranked based on performance, user feedback and risk metrics. Agents that perform poorly are deprecated or removed.

• Innovation: the marketplace encourages open experimentation. Developers can fork existing agents, improve them and publish upgraded versions.
